Gel pad installation on a YY250T By dannytroy (Read 425 times)

I just ordered a gel pad (with smoothing foam) from an eBay vendor.  I did two other smaller scooters in the past, and was happy with how they turned out. 

Has anyone done a similar upgrade on the YY250T?  I have a 2013 model, with the added hump on the seat, which I will retain.  I plan on reusing the seat cover and will cut out the necessary foam to fit the gel.

Any thoughts on this project?

Dannytroy I do upholstery for a living and that's how I do it just take the cover off set gell on top of foam where you want it trace it cut foam out and set it in.. I also do a little more foam work on the front of seat by building it up some and then sculpt it by sanding it. But in that case I always make a custom cover for it. But Yea just adding gell pad you can reuse your old cover. Have fun..

Yes, that's pretty much how I did the other two seats I added gel pads to.  I never used the smoothing foam, but since it comes with the gel kit I ordered on eBay, I will use it.  I hope there is enough foam to gouge out at the rear of the seating area, to accommodate the foam thickness I bought.   The original seat looks kind of thin there, and my butt agrees with me.  Exactly where the most padding is needed is where it's the thinnest.  Hopefully the gel will fix that problem.

I just did some quick searching and found this video which might be helpful. Please post pics of your project when you do it!

Nice video dannytroy, that's exactly how it's done! I'm getting ready to make a custom cover for mine I'll post pics.
